Custom-size screens – when standard sizes don't fit
A sloping ceiling, a niche between two windows, a very wide conference room or a stage opening: not every wall suits the usual screen sizes. For cases like these, we put together a custom-size projection screen for you – in a special size, with the right fabric, format and the mounting that suits your room. Whether home cinema, conference room, school or venue: made to measure, you get exactly the image width your wall allows.

From above, from below or inside furniture: Most screens descend from a case on the wall or ceiling. Floor-rising screens, on the other hand, rise up from a slim housing on the floor – ideal in front of a window or together with an ultra short throw projector. And if you want the screen to disappear completely, you can have it built into a lowboard or sideboard. We're happy to check whether this is possible for your dimensions.
Custom-size screen types – go straight to the range
- Fixed-frame screen – fixed to the wall, the fabric is permanently tensioned and perfectly flat. Ideal for home cinema and permanent installations.
- Motorised screen – extends and retracts at the push of a button, and can also be controlled via your building automation.
- Tensioned screen – a motorised screen with side tensioning, so the fabric stays as smooth as on a fixed-frame screen.
- In-ceiling screen – disappears invisibly into the ceiling when not in use, e.g. in conference and training rooms.
- Acoustic screen – acoustically transparent, so speakers can be placed directly behind the image.
- Ambient light rejecting and contrast screen – for rooms that can't be darkened.

Which screen fabric suits your room?
The fabric plays a key role in contrast, brightness and viewing angle. If you're unsure, simply select "Advice wanted" in the form – we'll recommend the right material for your room and projector.
| Fabric | Properties | Suits | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matte white | diffuses light evenly, neutral colours | darkened rooms, home cinema, presentations | the all-rounder with a wide viewing angle |
| Contrast (grey) | grey base tone for deeper blacks | living rooms and rooms with some ambient light | dark scenes look richer |
| ALR | reflects the projector's light back towards the audience and dampens stray light from the sides | rooms that can't be fully darkened | significantly more contrast in daylight |
| CLR | blocks light from above, designed for ultra short throw projectors | laser TV, living rooms with ceiling lights | only makes sense with UST projectors |
| Acoustic (perforated) | fine holes let the sound through | speakers behind the screen | micro-perforated: holes invisible from seating distance |
| Rear projection | translucent, the projector sits behind the image | trade fairs, stages, shop windows | no shadows from people in front of the image |
| Green screen | even chroma key green | video, photography, streaming | background can be replaced in software |
How the custom-made process works
- You send us your dimensions and requirements – via the form, email or phone.
- We check which screen and fabric suit your room and projector, and confirm feasibility with the manufacturer.
- You receive a no-obligation quote with price and delivery time.
- Once you approve, the screen is made for you and delivered.
How big should the screen be?
The right image width depends mainly on the seating distance and the resolution. As a rule of thumb: with Full HD you sit about 1.5 to 2 times the image width away, with 4K 1 to 1.5 times is enough. How big your projector's image will be at which distance is shown by our projector distance and image size calculator. We're happy to work out the rest with you.
Custom size or standard size?
Many screens are available from stock in a wide range of widths and formats – often faster and cheaper than a custom-made screen. It's worth a look before you enquire: All screens in the shop. Which fabric and which screen type suit you is explained in our guides Choosing a screen type, Screen fabric types and Screen gain.
Frequently asked questions about custom-size screens
Is an enquiry binding?
No. You receive a no-obligation quote from us and can then decide at your leisure.
How long does a custom-size screen take?
That depends on the design, fabric and manufacturer. We'll give you the exact delivery time with the quote.
Can I return a custom-size screen?
A custom-made screen is produced specifically for you and is therefore generally excluded from the right of withdrawal. That's why we check all dimensions carefully with you beforehand.
I don't know how big the image should be – can someone help me?
Yes. Tell us the room size, seating distance and your projector – we'll recommend the right image width and format. You can also work it out yourself in advance with our distance calculator for projectors and screens.
